Monday, April 15 - Will Keim Speaks!

Dr. Will Keim speaks on the student-athlete experience: Ted Wilson Gymnasium, 8 p.m.

"What I know about you all is you're still playing because you want to. Because unless they've figured out a way to cheat, none of you are getting money. Now some of you that are really smart figured out that you can get money for academics. And aren't you happy you got those good grades?"

"I'm a big fan of DIII because you play because you love the game. And eventually when the money gets to the point where it gets more out of control, everything in the country will be DIII: in other words, kids will go to school where they want to, not where they're being paid to do it."
